It has been some time since I have seen this last, so I may have to have another look at it and pay attention to the subtleties of the film that obviously escaped me before!

Thank you!<br /><br />I have struggled with this same idea, and critics have discussed this too. Honestly, Liza is probably too talented for the role...and I think Fosse would have agreed that true talent often goes unrecognized, even by the performers themselves, especially in an atmosphere of hedonism in which other satisfactions stifle ambition...<br /><br />And yet, I loved her so much in the role, that it really worked for me... You inspired me to add a sentence to my post in this regard.<br /><br />It was a tricky balance, but I think Minnelli and Fosse pull it off....I'd love to read your review of "Cabaret."TomShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718198770348083155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219677652731861971.post-80037181612772350282009-12-14T03:14:37.865-06:002009-12-14T03:14:37.865-06:00Do you agree with Chris's suggestion (below) t...Do you agree with Chris's suggestion (below) that Liza Minnelli is too good for the role? <br /><br />In my opinion he's got a point, she is a fantastic singer and relaxed performer, there's little to suggest in the way she holds the stage that she couldn't go on to make it.<br /><br />Or maybe Fosse is pointing out that show business is a tough arena, where even great singers are doomed to stay in dingy nightclubs.<br /><br />I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.Runs Like A Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170144191875296336noreply@blogger.com
